Customers are saying

Customers are positive about the Elite Series 2 Core Wireless Controller's high-quality build, excellent battery life, and comfortable grip. Many appreciate the customization options and the controller's overall feel and weight. However, customers are negative about the prevalence of stick drift issues reported by some users, as well as concerns about the durability of certain buttons and bumpers. The positive feedback on features like customization and feel is frequently offset by negative experiences with controller longevity.

    Best Wireless controller

    Hands down the best controller to use for PC gaming or on a Xbox console. 40 hours of battery life on a single charge, plus seamless integration with windows computers makes it very simple to set up and start using. The controller buttons/layout are always recognized without needing 3rd party software and the ability to purchase a small USB wireless adapter makes it all the more seamless. It does everything all the fancy 3rd party controllers does, at a better price.

    Having owned the 1st elite series controller I didn’t think this one would be that much better, but I was wrong. This controller improves almost every aspect of the Series 1. The wrap around grips are excellent. My series 1 grips started to fall off and I don’t see that being a problem on this one. I love that it’s slightly smaller than the 1st. Because of that I can actually use all 4 back paddles comfortably. The thumbsticks and triggers feel great. The controller now has a rechargeable battery built in and can be charged by placing it on the charger that’s in it’s case. Overall a great improvement and a fantastic controller. If you play call of duty, Fortnite, etc you need this controller.

    What an upgrade from an xbox one controller. A nice premium feel and easy to pair. Also huge bonus that you can adjust the analog sticks in case you have stick drift

    Very good controller when it works. I would rate higher but it has problems with stick drift, buttons getting stuck and/or double click. If you buy, make sure you have a warranty.

    This is the best controller I’ve used for the Xbox so far. It is very responsive and the customization options for the D-pad and thumb sticks are needed for shooters.

    So many people have tried this controller and keep having to replace it for stick drift, a button not tegistering and bumpers not working like they should. Its a well known and documented issue and im on my 5th one now. Definitely get the protection plan because it covers these issues and can be swapped out in store!

    For being an open box buy, this controller works fantastic! Paddles on the back are fantastic for the extra control slots I use for multiple games. Snag one if you can!
